MESOTHELIOMA!!
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer. It is a cancer of mesothelial cells. These cells cover the outer surface of most of our internal body organs, forming a lining that is sometimes called the mesothelium. So this is where this type of cancer gets its name .

Mesothelioma cancer can develop in the tissues covering the

**Lungs

**Abdomen

The pleura
The tissues lining (or covering) the lungs are called the pleura. There are two pleura. These can be called pleural membranes. The gap between them is called the pleural space. The pleura are fibrous sheets. They help to protect the lungs. They produce a lubricating fluid that fills the gap between the two pleura. This helps the lungs to move smoothly in the chest when they are inflating and deflating as we breathe.

Developing Breast: Stages of Breast Development in Teen Girls
Developing Breast: Stages of Breast Development in Teen Girls The process of developing Breast in teens marks the beginning of puberty. Your child should be educated enough about the Stages of Brest Development in Teen Girls to take necessary care and overcome the scary feeling…
Enlarge Image Breast development in teens and menarche (the onset of the menstrual cycle) mark the beginning of puberty and thus the great transition between childhood and womanhood. This period often fills the minds of young girls with mixed feelings of fear, sometimes spurred on by myths, hope and the wonderment of becoming a woman. Children around this age are asking themselves and others questions like "what is menstruation like?" How big will my breasts be? Will mine look like mom's or big sister's or will mine be different. Is this (situation) normal? In addition to attracting a sexual partner, which these days we could safely say could be of either gender, breasts have a biological purpose, to provide milk for a child that the woman will one day produce. As it is true with the rest of our bodies, breasts take several years before they’re fully mature and prepared to perform this function. This development takes place during puberty. Stages of Breast Development There have been several studies concerning breast development in girls and they have recognized a pattern in the growth pattern of developing breasts. This growth pattern has been divided into five stages of breast development. These stages take eight to ten years for a young woman to go through before breast development is complete. Stage 1 (The child less than 10 years old) In this time period the child is growing in all areas, however development of breasts is not yet seen. Areola's are only brownish spots where there will one day be full breasts and fully developed nipples. Stage 2 (Beginning development age 8-13) There are some differing viewpoints as to the age at which this stage begins. There are those that say that it begins at nine years, but it is well proven that there are factors (such as obesity, which increases Leptin, the hormone required to begin puberty and breast development) that can bring about early onset of this stage. In this stage small breast buds develop in preparation for growth of the ducts. Menarche will begin approximately four years after this stage. Stage 3 (Ages 12-14 years) . There may be some pain or discomfort. Stage 4 (Ages 12-15) At this stage of development the breasts form mounds and are gradually enlarging. There may be some additional discomfort and pink lines may appear on the breasts, these are only stretch marks and will fade in time. In addition there might be noticeable pain. This is only the breasts growing and the skin growing to accommodate the enlarging mound beneath it. a young girl should be taught and makes it a habit to do breast self exams. However, it is because cancer is a possibility later in life and that it is important for the teenager to get into the habit of doing these exams shortly after each menstrual cycle. This is a good time to purchase a bra to prevent injury. The child needs to understand that a brassier is more than underwear. . There are some who claim that it is very good for a person to wear a bra to bed. Stage 5 (ages 14-18) This is the last stage and the breasts mature and become full and rounded. breast size will increase with both pregnancy and weight gain. In addition if the young woman is overweight at this point in her life, then dramatic weight loss will of course decrease the amount of fat in the breasts and her bra size will decrease. It is also during this last stage of development that the ducts within the breast will be growing and this can produce small lumps. ` These are nothing to be concerned about; these usually go away within several menstrual cycles. , it can also be a scary time. There are many changes taking place and some of these associated with the breasts are not taking place at the same time. There may be a period where one breast is slightly larger than the other. so the size should be examined/..

over eating due to:depression
lack of health awareness

gotta attend a party!!

jenny says! se you in the evening!

kegy says!nope!not today...

is keggy really not intrested???well the only reason every time she misses a party is her obesity!

she feels being obese stops her to do any thing she wants!
keggy says:

'I'd skip breakfast then have a Diet-Coke at 11am. If I was feeling particularly hungry I'd eat some chewing gum. I smoked a lot of cigarettes too and at lunchtime id skip the lunch"

m scared how can any 1 manage to do that!well id die of hunger if i wd have done that!well my friend started suffering from "BULEMIA NERVOSA" as a result of purging!Inappropriate methods of weight control include vomiting, fasting, enemas, excessive use of laxatives and diuretics, or compulsive exercising..which lead to imbalance in the body!the only reason many girls become anorexic and have a tough time!
the main cause is depression!or any other causes!!
mm now trying to get a hold on me!
